The Art of Giving

St. Paul reminds us of the words of Jesus- “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) Behind this statement is the truth that our giving that blesses another is our response to how God has already blessed us. We know God’s blessing in every breath we take, every love we share, every joy we feel, every bite we taste and drink that refreshes. It is our joy to give God thanks for all His good gifts.Our giving also allows us the privilege of participating in what God is doing in the world. When you give through Lenape Valley Church you support caring ministries throughout our community and across the globe. Through us God is healing the world, one life at a time. Join us in being the mission of Jesus Christ to the world God so loves!Please consider these ways to be a part of what God is doing in the world:
